A second firefighter is behind bars as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged criminal activity at a local fire station.

Clint Richardson, 23, of the 9800 block of Freedoms Way in Keithville, was booked into the Shreveport City Jail on a warrant charging him with one count each of cruelty to the infirm and principal to prostitution, according to police. His bond is set at $105,000.

Authorities obtained an arrest warrant last week charging 50-year-old Derrick N. Harris, a captain on the fire department, with one count each of cruelty to the infirm and principal to prostitution.

Police and fire officials are releasing few details about the events leading to the arrests. The alleged activity occurred at Fire Station No. 8, on the fairgrounds. The investigation continues and police believe additional arrests may be forthcoming.

Richardson and Harris are on paid administrative leaving pending the outcome of an ongoing internal investigation into possible policy violations.
